For those of you who don’t have the time to spend an entire semester of your course overseas, or who may just want to explore an interesting elective option, many of UTS’s partner universities offer ‘for credit’ short-term academic study programs during their summer or winter periods. These programs are offered through Global Short Programs. 

The Global Short Programs team have collaborated with selected faculties including the Business School, to develop suitable and interesting programs at our partner universities. These have all been approved for credit toward your UTS degree if eligible.

Applying for a short-term overseas partner program through UTS will give eligible students:  

  • credit for study  

  • access to special reduced program costs  

  • complimentary UTS Insurance for the duration of the overseas program, if program requires travel   

  • support from UTS throughout the application process

You may also be eligible for a range of funding options such as OS-HELP loans and Global Short Programs travel scholarships.
